The problem
Why we built this.
You swapped bikes, or the bike you actually ride runs a 12mm thru-axle, and the adapter that shipped in the KICKR box no longer fits. Wahoo sells replacement parts one at a time, which still leaves you hunting for the lock nuts and spacers. This is the complete replacement set: the drive-side spin cap, both non-drive-side adapters for 12x142 and 12x148, the Shimano HG and SRAM XD/XDR lock nuts, and the two spacers that decide whether your cassette and your brake caliper behave.
What you actually get
Core value, in plain language.
The whole replacement set
Seven pieces in one box: the drive-side spin cap, both non-drive-side adapters, the Shimano HG and SRAM XD/XDR lock nuts, and both spacers.
Anti-loss O-ring grip
The 12x142 and 12x148 adapters carry built-in rubber O-rings that lock onto the axle, so the adapter stays seated through setup and storage.
HG, XD and XDR ready
Mount an 11/12-speed road cassette straight on HG, or add the 1.85mm spacer to convert to XD for SRAM MTB and Eagle.
Tool-free, caliper protected
The non-drive-side adapter slides straight in, no lateral play. The disc brake spacer stops the pads clamping together with the wheel off.

Install & care
Set it up. Keep it alive.
Five short steps to get you riding, plus three care tips that will keep the product in good shape for the long haul.
- 01
Pick your axle
Step 1 of 612x142 road or gravel? Use Adapter D. 12x148 MTB boost? Use Adapter E. They are the same part with a different internal sleeve.
- 02
Fit the adapter
Step 2 of 6Slide the non-drive-side adapter through the trainer mount and let it seat against the frame.
- 03
Spin cap on the drive side
Step 3 of 6Screw Adapter C into the drive-side hub shell, then drop the axle through and thread it in.
- 04
Lock the freehub
Step 4 of 6Fit the Shimano HG lock nut for a HG freehub, or the SRAM XD/XDR lock nut for an XDR one. Add the 1.85mm cassette spacer if you are running an older cassette.
- 05
Torque it
Step 5 of 6Tighten the axle to the torque your bike requires - 5 Nm on each side is the usual figure. The O-rings hold the axle even if you are a little under.
- 06
Ride
Step 6 of 6Pedal hard. Forget the part exists.
- Wipe with a dry cloth after sweaty sessions.
- Re-torque after any fall or impact, even if it feels fine.
- Keep the O-rings free of grit and check them every few months - they are what stops the axle working loose.
- Store the kit dry. The anodised aluminium and the steel internals do not care for puddles.
